Do you have an innovative idea to increase the funds raised for good causes in Nigeria? Apply for the Giving4Good challenge

CcHUB is running the Giving4Good challenge which
will explore the ways CSO's and NGO's use technology to raise funds from
individuals and donor organisations in both local and
international/diaspora communities.

The constraints of individual philanthropy in Nigeria revolve around three major themes:

Transparency & Accountability, Effective Communication ,
Ease of donating.
The Challenge aims to bring technologists and
civil society groups together, to develop mobile-based innovative
platforms that can help address the constraints of individual
philanthropy in Nigeria.

Rules & Eligibility

We invite innovative,
technology driven solutions targeted at the constraints that CSO's and
NGO's face when it comes to attracting individual philanthropy. Ideas
should be focused on one of the following questions:

How might we increase the
transparency of NGO's and CSO's reporting, to gain trust and encourage
more individual donations in Nigeria?

How might we effectively
communicate the emotional appeal of causes supported by NGO's and CSO's,
in order to trigger more individual philanthropy in Nigeria?

How might we leverage technology to facilitate the ease of donating to NGO's and CSO's in Nigeria?

We invite proposals from software developers, academics and entrepreneurs from across the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

Through the challenge, we hope to find social
innovators across Nigeria, supporting them to develop their ideas and
to scale leveraging digital technology.

Prizes

The top 3 ideas will receive combined funding of up to £35,000
towards the execution of the idea. Further Pre-Incubation support will
be provided via the Co-Creation Hub (CcHUB) Pre-Incubation services.

Over the subsequent six months, the top three
ideas will be supported with a range of services focused on product
development, distribution and business modelling to turn their ideas
into fully working products to launch in late 2018.
